Out of Cannes, Arrow Entertainment has acquired worldwide rights to Philippe Mora's 3D biopic, "Dali 3D," starring Alan Cumming as the famous artist. The film is set to begin shooting in November.

The plot as described by Arrow Entertainment:

The movie takes the 20th Century iconic artist and celebrity Salvador Dali (Alan Cumming) onto the 3D silver screen as he mentally creates the surreal film of his life, while lying in bed after a tragic accident. With a mixture of humor and drama, live action and animation, the audience will travel through time with Dali and his mysterious wife Gala (Judy Davis).

DALI 3D was written by Philippe Mora (Mad Dog Morgan, Communion, Swastika, Howling II & III) who will also direct the film and produce with Frederick Bestall. Australian based Column Pictures and The Picture Portal will co-produce with Peter Kreutz of Aqua Films in Germany and Jean Luc Van Damme of Banana Films in Belgium, and Charles Waterstreet in Sydney. “This is the film Dali would have wanted you to see,” says Mora.
